The PM says England will have a "world-beating" tracing system from June, as he was accused of leaving a "huge hole" in the country's coronavirus defences.

World beating, so scrapped it.
Now just got to retrain all those 25,000 tracers on a different system. Excellent!
£108M wasted, and that's just the system. Beats the bridge and the water cannon debacles.
Will there be any legal claims arising from all those system engineers becoming unemployed?
Just when you think it couldn't get any worse!

It reads to me that the apple/google systems doesn't involve tracers.
The government now intends to launch an app in the autumn, however it says the product may not involve contact tracing at that point.
Instead the software may be limited to enabling users to report their symptoms and order a test.
Doesn't sound as though it's confirmed either.
Baroness Dido Harding - who heads up the wider Test and Trace programme - will only give the green light to actually deploying the Apple-Google technology if she judges it to be fit for purpose, which she does not believe is the case at present. It is possible this may never happen.
Other countries have had similar issues.
Germany, Italy and Denmark are among other countries to have switched from a so-called "centralised" approach to a "decentralised" one.
Bit of a non story really.
It was only a trial and it appears that not many downloaded the app, and it didn't work on older smartphones.
Seems reasonable to think again.
When the eventual solution requires a significant voluntary participation, would it be any surprise that many will just ignore it? Especially the youngsters who consider themselves immune to the virus as the large numbers attending recent raves and other illegal gatherings have shown.

sometimes having a one party state has its advantages.
imagine the compliance % if North Korea had such an app......
